Address to decommissioning – Points for discussion, 25 November 1996

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document is a draft that outlines the points for discussion regarding decommissioning during the multi-party talks, emphasizing the commitment of the two Governments to the recommendations of the International Body. It highlights the proposed compromise approach to decommissioning, which suggests that some decommissioning should occur during the negotiations to build mutual trust and confidence progressively. The document notes the Governments' intention to publish and enact enabling legislation to support the decommissioning process and the establishment of an Independent Commission to oversee the implementation of the International Body's recommendations. The participants agree to work constructively with the Independent Commission and establish a Liaison Committee to facilitate cooperation. The document also details the terms of reference for the Independent Commission, including preparing detailed decommissioning schemes, determining the Commission's role in implementation and verification, and making recommendations on the timing and conditions for decommissioning. The Commission is tasked with reporting progress regularly and consulting with participants and relevant experts to ensure the effective implementation of the decommissioning process.[some words are in bracket/are not approved, suggesting that this document is a draft].
